The following exposes the \nproblem:\n\nmkdir foo\ncd foo\ngit init\necho FILE > foo\ngit add foo && git commit -mFile\nrm foo\nln -s bar foo\n\nNow start the git gui and try to stage the change in foo.\nGives:   error: no desc for state={_T} foo\n\nThen try add the change to foo to the index at the command line and try \nto commit in the gui...\n\nI don't speak tk/tcl so unfortunately I can't be of much help chasing \nthis down.\n\n/Gustaf\n"}]}
